STANLEY IN LONDON.
loxdon, April 2C Stanley arrived at
Dover this afternoon, tie was accom
naoied bv the kine of Brussels to Osteml,
aud was met at Dover by the mayor and
aldermen and a laree crowd.
Thousands of persons assembled at the
Victoria station this afternoon to welcome
Stanley, and waited patieDtly for hours in
a pouring rain for the arrival ot his train
Several hundred who were fortunate
enough to be provided with tickets were
admitted into the station, but there wire
some ti. ket holders who were unable to
make their way through the crowd and
had to sharj their discomforts. Tin-re
was considerable disappointment that
Stanlcv did not make a speech, notwith
standing the obvious reason for his not
doing so. The great explorer was receiv
c d with cheers and everybody aia u
utmost to do him honor, lie entered
carriage with Sir Francis de Winton aDd
Baroness iiurdett -uoutis, ana as tne open
vehicle was slowly driven away he was
ap-iin cheered.
He looks thin, though bis health is excel
lent. Ills most striking feature is his
hair, which is a lute and busby and has
tt e appearance of a wig. The newspapers
all print leaders lauding bis exploits aud
services, and extending to him the wel
come ol. the nation.
At the coiumand of the prince ol
Wales, Stanley, Parke, Mackinnon and
De Urnton have gone to Handnngham
where they will remain until Monday,
Stanley's arrival at Dover this morning
was characterized by a scene oi disgrace
ful confusion at the pier. Owing to
mismanagement by' local authorities,
crowd of distinguished gentlemen gather
ed to greet him and could not get on the
jier.
THE DREADED 1ST OP MAY.
London, April 26. Advices from all
parts of Europe, except Russia, show that
tho ruling powers are looking iorwara
with deep anxietv to the 1st of May. In
Vienna troops are being concentrated for
the purpose ot dealing witu iurtner out
breaks, and the military authorities in all
the industrial centers of Austria and Hun
gary have teen epjoincd to ppecial
vigilance. The Jew baiting which has
been attended by sangumar riots in
Austria, is regarded as a preliminary
symptoms of dangerous agitation, it not
upen insurrection. The working classes
tiit re. being as a ruie more lgnoiant than
in Germany or France, turn their rage
against the jews whom they look upon as
natural enemies, simply Decause inu jews
are frugal and intelligent, in contrast,
there tore, with most ol the people around
tuein.
SON UNION MEN GROAN.
Chicago. April 28. Settlement of the
carpenter's strike is still a problem of the
future. The builder s exchange to day
declined lo recede frc ci its position not
to recognize the carpenter a council, and.
ta 'expected, the joint conferences of the
vauous representatives were a iauure.
The builders, at a meeting to day, de
cided to complain to Mayor Cregier that
police protection was not afforded non
onion carpenters who desire to work, and
that unless more active measures were
employed an appeal to Govern er Fifer for
mill tia would be made, in a statement
to the public te-mght the builders and
master carpenters say that while not
abridging the right ot any member to
make any agreement he pleases, they will
not as an association, "be a party to any
agreement that will deprive any employer
or employe from the right to earn his
bread, whether or not be belongs to their
union or ours."
President O'Connell, of-the Carpenters'
council, declined to say whether the
strike would now be declared off as to the
new bosses' association, further than that
the subject would be considered at a
meeting to be held Monday. J ull
authority to make a binding agreement
with the journeymen was given to-night
by the new bosses to their arbitration
committee.
The gas-fitters went on strike to-day,
as has been threatened.
At a meeting of non-union carpenters
who have come here from other stales
since the begining of the strike, a mem
orial was drafted, setting lorth that they
bad been assaulted and terrined, and that
the local police and other authorities re
fuse to protect them; they theiefore ask
the government for protection. The me
morial is addressed to Secretary Blaine.
There is but little prospect of the car
penters strike being soon settled, lhe
Caapenters' and Builders Association re
fuses to recognize the union in any way.
and the strikers insist that they w 11
agree to no terms until this is done..
It is now stated that there will be no
strike ot packing-house employes at the
stock yards, as was at one tune feared.
The strike would have involved 15,000
men. There was a stiong sentiment in
favor of it, but older beads, who bad
passed through the disastrous strike ot
l09b. counseled against it as hopeless,
and their counsel prevailed.
STORM IN BALTIMORE.
"Washington, Auffl 27. The signal

the signal service observer at Baltimore:
The heaviest hail storm on record at this
Station passed over Baltimore from the

dows in the city were broken, the dam
age being confined mainly to a'western
exposure. Many runaways are reported.
St. me horses and carriages were aban
doned in the streets, their owners leaving
them to seek shelter. It is probable a
number of . people were injured as the
stones were very large, some measuring
more than two inches in diameter and
weighing more than four ounces each.
The extent ot the damage has not yet
been ascertained, but it must have been
very great. Very heavy rain tell with
baiI,about one hundredth of an inch tail

Many of the car tracks at the foot of the
hills are covered to a depth of six inches
with the soil washed down npon them.
The wind at 3 :55 attained a velocity of
thirty miles per hour, rapidly decreasing
alter the passage ot the storm.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THE MAT PICNIC.
Berlin, April 26. The emperor has
telegraphed instructions to Chancellor
voj Caprivi, regarding the attitude of the
authorities throughout the country toward
the May celebration. Reports from pop
ulous centers shows that the authorities in

public demonstrations by the nse of
soldiery. In other places they are con
fining tLemselvts to issuing warnings
against excesses. The chancellor has
made arrangements to sec ore unity ot

New York, April 28. Mrs. Parnell
writes the Herald as follows:
I Inclose a printed extract for you, and
beg as an important favor, that you will
humanely publish this, my letter, since
it is a denial of the false reports dissemi
nated through the country, which altirm
that truthful descriptions of my destitu
tion were merely sensational matters. On
he centtary, pen and pencil tail to por-
trav the extreme case, ana none nave
told my intense suffering. Cold, too, was
iaoring into me lor weeks. I ne report
which I now seize the chance of contra
cting emanates from Mr.T. D. Murphy,
of Atlanta. Ga. and heaps insults and ln-
uries upon me. He says that be received

wish to deny the sarre and to add that
II such are incorrect from beginning to
end. : Mt son John bad no real opportn-
itv of knowing anything about my af
fairs. I would not be alive but for
benevolent people who provided for me,
for I was fast, at my advanced age, dying
of cold and starvation.
Then I came to see mends in Trenton,
who, with great difficulty, induced me to
pmain where I have not wnerewnn to
pay for food. Alter finding comfort, too,
was afraid to brave tne cruel narasnips
f Ironsides for more than one reason. I
ave no option but to tell the troth. It
is especially unjust that any one should
circulate stories when they know of no
grounds for doing so except as are totally
void of veracity ana aeintneniai w my
family and myself. I am paiued again
and again when thesa spasmodic utter
ances gain currency. They are given in the

and to brand me as a liar and an impostor.

Hood River Glacier: Monday morning
soon after the eaat-boun I passenger train

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN NO. 7.
Ortqon State WraUier Bureau ro co-j;era-tionwith
U. S. Si jnal Service, central office,
Portland, Oregon, far weekendiny April
26, 1S90:
' Tbe temperature has been slightly above
the normal for the week. There was no
rainfall. The days were bright, with warm
sunshine, which was about the average.
The nights wer cool; light frosts, which
did no apparent damage, occurred on the
23d. This has been the first week ot good
growing spring weather this season, and the
result is that vegetation has made marked
progress.
Winter wheat is invariably reported to be
in excellent condition. Spring seeding in
Umatilla county and in sections of the val
ley counties is done, bnt most of it is about
bsing finished np. Early spring grain is
up. Showers are desired in the Walla
Walla valley to give the late spring aoan
grain a start. The effect ot too much rain
on wheat in the low lands is shown to have
been slightly injurious in the Willamette
valley. Larger spring acreage than usual
is and bas been sown.
All varieties of irnit tree in all parts of
the state, saye in the more mountainous
sections of Eastern Oregon, are in full
bloom, and in many sections the peach and
cherry blossoms are falling. The frost on
tbe 23 J did not injure the fruit. lid
strawberries are in bloom. Grape vines are
budding out rapidly. In Wasco, Sherman,
Morrow, Gilliam, back from the river, and
counties to the south tbe apple and cherry
trees are budding. The present outlook is
that peaches will be a short crop, but the
other fruit will be plentiful.
Spring seeding i being finished. The
weather i favorable for the lambing season.
Sheep shearing will begin within the next
ten days. The grass is growing very rap
idly, affording good graxing. Vegetable
are becoming very plentiful, and gardeuing
is generally being very rapidly pushed
The weather for the week has been all
that could be desired and all growing vege
tation shows the favorable changes. The
season continues about two weeks later than
usual. " B. 8. Pauoe,
